Do you love fossils and dinosaurs I’m lucky enough to be a fossil preparator(化石制备师)，which means I work with fossils，like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they’re not broken.Sometimes，we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into place.
I like the job from the bottom of my heart.When we make “jackets”—these are things that store the fossils—we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils，which can be different shapes and artistic expression.
Since I was a kid，it’s been my dream to be a paleontologist(古生物学者)．When I was 12，I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day.I got a chance to meet paleontologists.At the end，I asked，“Hey，can I volunteer？” And somehow，they let me，as long as a parent came with me.At 12 years old，I got to go to a fossil excavation(挖掘)，and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.
Fossils are very old.We don’t always get all the pieces.We’re working with something that’s incomplete，sometimes.We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together.And as for the pieces we don’t know，we don’t try to make anything up.But sometimes，we have a gap in a specimen(标本) and it needs support.We’ll put some material in there that’s clearly not fossil，so when people go to study it，they know not to study that part.
People would wonder how I find other kids，especially girls，who shared my interests when I was growing up.As a matter of fact，in my friend group，I was the only dinosaur girl.My friends were interested in other things，but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.
24．Why does the author like her job
A．It is not a demanding job.
B．It combines both art and science.
C．It is more artistic than scientific.
D．It is about collecting dinosaur bones.
25．Why does the author mention her visit to her local museum
A．To show her path to follow her dream.
B．To prove her parents supporting her job.
C．To present the barrier of achieving her dream.
D．To tell her easy access to achieving her dream.
26．How does the author deal with the incomplete fossils
A．By burying them back in the ground.
B．By breaking and reconstructing them.
C．By making them up with similar materials.
D．By filling their gaps with distinct materials.
27．What kind of girl was the author when she was growing up
A．Cautious. B．Understanding.
C．Independent. D．Entertaining.
C
Researchers have made a digital map showing a tiny piece of a human brain in unknown detail.The map represents a cubic millimeter of brain—an area about half the size of a grain of rice.But even that tiny part is overflowing with a large amount of information—containing about 57,000 cells,230 millimeters of blood vessels and 150 million synapses(突触)，the connections between neurons(神经元)．
The researchers published their findings in a journal.They have made the data set freely available online and provided tools for analyzing it.“In one respect，our data set is tiny，” Jeff Lichtman，a co-author of the study，says.“But it doesn’t feel small，because when you get in it，you see it’s like a huge forest.”
For the new paper，the researchers turned to a piece of brain tissue from a person with epilepsy(癫痫)．The data has already brought some unexpected findings for the researchers.For instance，they found some rare sites where neurons were connected by more than 50 synapses.This is incredibly uncommon—more than 96 percent of connections between neurons have just one synapse，and more than 99 percent have three or fewer synapses.
“These strong connections might show what learning looks like in the brain，” Lichtman assumes.They represent behaviors so well-practiced that they require almost no thought at all，such as moving your foot from the accelerator to the brake when stopping a car.However，he thinks while the tissue sample didn’t have any evidence of disease，they can’t be certain whether these surprises are in some way related to the person’s epilepsy or treatments.Studying other tissue samples could give them a clearer idea.
Next，the researchers would like to map a mouse’s brain.But in the meantime，the human statistics they currently have will push other researchers to learn more about the human brain，especially its unknown areas.
28．What does the digital map created by the researchers show
A．Mainly the huge synapses.
B．The entire network of neurons.
C．Various aspect of the human brain.
D．Detailed information about a small brain area.
29．How does paragraph 3 illustrate the rarity of these sites
A．By listing data.
B．By citing papers.
C．By making an assumption.
D．By describing a phenomenon.
30．What is Lichtman’s attitude to the findings
A．Grateful. B．Cautious.
C．Critical. D．Indifferent.
31．What can we learn about the effect of the research from the last paragraph
A．It is expected. B．It is inspiring.
C．It is unknown. D．It is confusing.
D
Have you ever conducted a job interview through video Do you work remotely and mostly communicate with your colleagues through technologies like Microsoft Teams or Slack Technologies are rapidly changing how，when，and where we work.But what impact do they have on our work motivation We recently reviewed the research done to answer this question and unfortunately，the news is not so good.
For the most part，technologies have worsened the satisfaction of our psychological needs when we work.They are robbing us of our feelings of control and freedom because they monitor us and tell us what and how to do our work；sometimes they also pressure us to work faster.And they are decreasing our chances to create meaningful relationships with colleagues.
To fix and avoid these issues in the future，we have concluded from this review that we need to advocate for the use of psychological knowledge when designing technologies to be used in work environments.Psychologists are well equipped to advise how to design and use technologies in ways that will maintain or even improve the design of our work.
Work is considered to be well-designed when it gives us some decision-making power，provides us with performance feedback，and allows us to connect with colleagues not only to increase relatedness but also to see the impact our work has on stakeholders(利益相关者)．Good work design makes our work more meaningful.
Why is this important Because work motivation that stems from meaning and enjoyment will be increasingly important in the future of work.Indeed，as work environments and career tracks become more dynamic and precarious，we need workers to be more active and flexible for the changeable situation.And motivation through meaning and enjoyment makes people more active and flexible.
So，when you hear your employer wants to introduce new technologies in your workplace，ask them if they have used the service of psychology experts.It will ensure your work keeps being designed in a way that will make it meaningful and enjoyable.
32．According to the recent research review，how do technologies affect our work
A．They decrease our working efficiency.
B．They increase our psychological needs.
C．They improve our relationships with colleagues.
D．They reduce our work motivation for creativity.
33．What does the author suggest for introducing technologies in work
A．Updating technical equipment.
B．Reviewing the former research.
C．Consulting psychology experts.
D．Improving the design of our work.
34．What does the underlined word “precarious” mean in paragraph 5
A．Rewarding. B．Unavoidable.
C．Uncertain. D．Straightforward.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Is Technology Killing Your Work Motivation
B．What the Employers Can Do in the Workplace
C．A New Review Gives Insights on Psychology
D．The Future of Work Environments and Career Tracks

If you consider yourself to be shy by nature，you may worry that you’re not a good conversationalist. 36 There are plenty of easy，subtle ways to improve your social skills in your daily life.Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get started.
Start a conversation. 37 Many people feel more relaxed if they have time to prepare a conversation starter.You can write down a list of potential conversation starters.You could，for example，talk about an assignment，if you’re making a conversation in class.
38 People want to feel that the other person is interested in them.You can share simple insights and ask questions to continue the conversation.Before you bring up your own insights，make a rule that you ask at least one question about what the other person is saying.
Remember to engage in only one thing at a time.When a person is talking，pay attention to what he or she is talking about.Keep your mind focused on the present moment instead of planning what you’ll say next.It’s inevitable that you will think of something that relates.That’s okay. 39 But don’t spend time thinking about how to word your responses.
Most conversations will run their own courses.It’s okay if you can’t think of anything else to say.Simply mention something else you have to do，and that you’ll have to step away.Thank the person for their time，and let them know that you’d like to talk again some other time. 40
A．Don’t worry.
B．Choose a shared topic.
C．Keep a conversation going.
D．It is good to have responses ready.
E．A simple question can be enough to start the talk.
F．Practice ahead of time，if you’re easy to get anxious.
G．In this way，allow the conversation to come to a natural stop.

Dear fellow students，
第二节　(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some kids play sports.They run hundreds of laps，and tackle，kick，or swing.Some kids do makeover parties.They pool their fashion magazines and organize their own spa hair salons.And some kids are computer geeks.Their programming ability is a thing of wonder.
Me I had the spelling bee(拼字比赛)．The bee was my World Series.And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memory.
I trained every day on my front steps after school，the dictionary pages rippling softly in the breeze.I formed a habit carrying around my buddies Longman，Webster，and Oxford.
As soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning，I felt the hairs on my arm stand up.I glanced at my alarm clock—it was only 6：27.I usually woke up at 7：01，which meant I had an extra thirty-four minutes to study.Starting with the word “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”，I went over several words.
To calm my butterflies in my stomach，I reminded myself that I was one of the best spellers in my class.I was not ambitious enough to want to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee or anything—I just wanted to win the bee at Meadowbrook Middle School，so that I could defeat my main enemy，Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan thought he was a better speller than I was，but he didn’t even study words.He just read tons of science and math books.Really，he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician.Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers，but since he was a good speller without even trying，it didn’t count.I bet if you gave Nathan a modern literature word like “denouement”，he’d be out on the first round.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch，so all I did in the morning was stare at the clock and wondered how seconds could possibly pass by so slowly.I sneaked away from lunch early so I could get in a few extra minutes of study time.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
As soon as I shut the classroom door behind me，I heard a voice.
“Now it’s time for the Spelling Bee！” Ms Hawking said brightly.

M：We are having a little party at the weekend.Can you come
W：That sounds nice.But I already have plans with Tom.We’re going to the beach.
Text 2
M：I’m glad to see you are eating Chinese food again.It’s far healthier than that hamburger I saw you eating.
W：What you saw at lunchtime was a one-off，because I was with a Western friend.

M：Please do.They need to be filed by noon.

W：I think this coat is fashionable，but it is too big for our daughter.The sleeves are so long.
M：That’s true.Let me talk to the shop assistant and ask for a smaller size.
Text 5
W：Wow，you’ve collected some new stamps！You have 60 now，George.
M：You know what？My friend Ann has 25 more.She has two books of stamps.
W：That’s unbelievable.
Text 6
M：Good morning.I have an interview scheduled with Mr Black for 2 o’clock.It’s for an article I’m writing for next week’s journal.
W：Oh，yes.That means you’re Mr Woods.⑥I actually gave you a call last evening.
M：Oh，really I didn’t notice that.
W：That’s all right.⑥I called to say that Mr Black had to cancel the interview.He had to attend an urgent board meeting at our main office in Dallas.
M：Really That’s too bad.Could I possibly reschedule
W：Certainly.⑦He’ll be back tomorrow night.Would the following day—that’s Thursday at 10 a．m.be OK with you
M：That’s great.
Text 7
W：Henry，I called your home this afternoon，but your mother said you were out.
M：I went to the First Annual Festival of Health in our city.
W：Did you have a good time there
M：Yes.First，⑧I took part in the “I Matter” walk，to wander for a mile around Antelope Park and promote both mental and physical health.I talked happily with some others while walking there.
W：What did you do after that
M：I went to the Auld Pavilion.There are more than 30 organizations setting up tables to share health tips and services.They also offered food and demonstrations of healthy cooking.
W：So did the event last long
M：⑨It began at 1：00 pm and didn’t end until 5：00 pm.It’s a pity you missed it.But don’t worry.You can go to it next year.
W：I really look forward to it.
M：By the way，why did you call me
W：⑩I wanted to know if you have time to help me with my math homework tonight.
Text 8
W：So you started performing over 30 years ago.
M：Yes，I was born in Oakland，but was raised around grass valley，where I am living now.I came back to San Francisco for college in 1964，but dropped out a year later.
W： Why did you drop out of college
M： My mother died of cancer.If she hadn’t been ill，I probably would have stayed in school.But luckily，I got some on-the-job training later.
W：Let’s get back to Raphael.Your teacher.Tell me something about him.
M：When I first met him，I was in awe of him.Not only was he an incredible Jazz musician，but he knew the tradition and played all the instruments，too. In any musical tradition，some people will get locked into a narrow view of music，but he was open to everything.I think that went into me.

Do you love fossils and dinosaurs I’m lucky enough to be a fossil preparator(化石制备师)，which means I work with fossils，like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they’re not broken.Sometimes，we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into place.
I like the job from the bottom of my heart.When we make “jackets”—these are things that store the fossils—we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils，which can be different shapes and artistic expression.
Since I was a kid，it’s been my dream to be a paleontologist(古生物学者)．When I was 12，I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day.I got a chance to meet paleontologists.At the end，I asked，“Hey，can I volunteer？” And somehow，they let me，as long as a parent came with me.At 12 years old，I got to go to a fossil excavation(挖掘)，and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.
Fossils are very old.We don’t always get all the pieces.We’re working with something that’s incomplete，sometimes.We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together.And as for the pieces we don’t know，we don’t try to make anything up.But sometimes，we have a gap in a specimen(标本) and it needs support.We’ll put some material in there that’s clearly not fossil，so when people go to study it，they know not to study that part.
People would wonder how I find other kids，especially girls，who shared my interests when I was growing up.As a matter of fact，in my friend group，I was the only dinosaur girl.My friends were interested in other things，but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.

Researchers have made a digital map showing a tiny piece of a human brain in unknown detail.The map represents a cubic millimeter of brain—an area about half the size of a grain of rice.But even that tiny part is overflowing with a large amount of information—containing about 57,000 cells,230 millimeters of blood vessels and 150 million synapses(突触)，the connections between neurons(神经元)．
The researchers published their findings in a journal.They have made the data set freely available online and provided tools for analyzing it.“In one respect，our data set is tiny，” Jeff Lichtman，a co-author of the study，says.“But it doesn’t feel small，because when you get in it，you see it’s like a huge forest.”
For the new paper，the researchers turned to a piece of brain tissue from a person with epilepsy(癫痫)．The data has already brought some unexpected findings for the researchers.For instance，they found some rare sites where neurons were connected by more than 50 synapses.This is incredibly uncommon—more than 96 percent of connections between neurons have just one synapse，and more than 99 percent have three or fewer synapses.
“These strong connections might show what learning looks like in the brain，” Lichtman assumes.They represent behaviors so well-practiced that they require almost no thought at all，such as moving your foot from the accelerator to the brake when stopping a car.However，he thinks while the tissue sample didn’t have any evidence of disease，they can’t be certain whether these surprises are in some way related to the person’s epilepsy or treatments.Studying other tissue samples could give them a clearer idea.
Next，the researchers would like to map a mouse’s brain.But in the meantime，the human statistics they currently have will push other researchers to learn more about the human brain，especially its unknown areas.

Have you ever conducted a job interview through video Do you work remotely and mostly communicate with your colleagues through technologies like Microsoft Teams or Slack Technologies are rapidly changing how，when，and where we work.But what impact do they have on our work motivation We recently reviewed the research done to answer this question and unfortunately，the news is not so good.
For the most part，technologies have worsened the satisfaction of our psychological needs when we work.They are robbing us of our feelings of control and freedom because they monitor us and tell us what and how to do our work；sometimes they also pressure us to work faster.And they are decreasing our chances to create meaningful relationships with colleagues.
To fix and avoid these issues in the future，we have concluded from this review that we need to advocate for the use of psychological knowledge when designing technologies to be used in work environments.Psychologists are well equipped to advise how to design and use technologies in ways that will maintain or even improve the design of our work.
Work is considered to be well-designed when it gives us some decision-making power，provides us with performance feedback，and allows us to connect with colleagues not only to increase relatedness but also to see the impact our work has on stakeholders(利益相关者)．Good work design makes our work more meaningful.
Why is this important Because work motivation that stems from meaning and enjoyment will be increasingly important in the future of work.Indeed，as work environments and career tracks become more dynamic and precarious，we need workers to be more active and flexible for the changeable situation.And motivation through meaning and enjoyment makes people more active and flexible.
So，when you hear your employer wants to introduce new technologies in your workplace，ask them if they have used the service of psychology experts.It will ensure your work keeps being designed in a way that will make it meaningful and enjoyable.

If you consider yourself to be shy by nature，you may worry that you’re not a good conversationalist. 36 There are plenty of easy，subtle ways to improve your social skills in your daily life.Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get started.
Start a conversation. 37 Many people feel more relaxed if they have time to prepare a conversation starter.You can write down a list of potential conversation starters.You could，for example，talk about an assignment，if you’re making a conversation in class.
38 People want to feel that the other person is interested in them.You can share simple insights and ask questions to continue the conversation.Before you bring up your own insights，make a rule that you ask at least one question about what the other person is saying.
Remember to engage in only one thing at a time.When a person is talking，pay attention to what he or she is talking about.Keep your mind focused on the present moment instead of planning what you’ll say next.It’s inevitable that you will think of something that relates.That’s okay. 39 But don’t spend time thinking about how to word your responses.
Most conversations will run their own courses.It’s okay if you can’t think of anything else to say.Simply mention something else you have to do，and that you’ll have to step away.Thank the person for their time，and let them know that you’d like to talk again some other time. 40
A．Don’t worry.
B．Choose a shared topic.
C．Keep a conversation going.

Breathing is so automatic an activity that most of 57. (we) never think about doing it.But as Nestor shows through his own experiences and conversations with dozens of 58.____________(expert)，the way we breathe makes 59. difference to the body’s overall health.60. (base) on the results of the experiment，his book Breath：The New Science of a Lost Art was published，where he explores everything from the role nose breathing plays in hormone regulation(激素调节) and digestion，to 61. some athletes build up the lung capacity(肺活量) to run marathons in extreme conditions or dive into icy water for more than an hour at a time.The topic is 62. (seeming) simple—an entire book about breathing.But actually every chapter 63. (reveal) new details about how body and breath work together at the same time.

Dear fellow students，
With the popularity of takeaway，I’ve noticed many students around me choose it as a regular meal.However，it is an unhealthy diet.
First of all，takeaway contains high fat and calorie.Depending on it too much，we are likely to put on weight.Besides，without enough nutrition，our body will not function well in the long run.To solve this problem，we should bear a balanced diet in mind.In our daily life，we’d better take in more grains，eggs，milk，fruit and vegetables to satisfy our daily needs.What’s more，home-made food is a better choice for us，which is more nutritious and tastier.We can sense the family love as well while we enjoy it.
Let’s have less takeaway from now on and form a healthy eating habit.

Me I had the spelling bee(拼字比赛)．The bee was my World Series.And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memory.
I trained every day on my front steps after school，the dictionary pages rippling softly in the breeze.I formed a habit carrying around my buddies Longman，Webster，and Oxford.
As soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning，I felt the hairs on my arm stand up.I glanced at my alarm clock—it was only 6：27.I usually woke up at 7：01，which meant I had an extra thirty-four minutes to study.Starting with the word “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”，I went over several words.
To calm my butterflies in my stomach，I reminded myself that I was one of the best spellers in my class.I was not ambitious enough to want to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee or anything—I just wanted to win the bee at Meadowbrook Middle School，so that I could defeat my main enemy，Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan thought he was a better speller than I was，but he didn’t even study words.He just read tons of science and math books.Really，he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician.Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers，but since he was a good speller without even trying，it didn’t count.I bet if you gave Nathan a modern literature word like “denouement”，he’d be out on the first round.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch，so all I did in the morning was stare at the clock and wondered how seconds could possibly pass by so slowly.I sneaked away from lunch early so I could get in a few extra minutes of study time.

参考范文
As soon as I shut the classroom door behind me，I heard a voice.“Hi，Olivia.You were looking a little pale in math class this morning.I’m glad the rose is back in your cheeks.I was afraid you might miss the spelling bee.” “Oh，wouldn’t you just love that？” “Not really.I enjoy a bit of competition.Is that the list of words you’re studying Funny，I don’t think I have one of those.” I was so irritated that I couldn’t concentrate on reviewing my list，but it didn’t matter—I knew all the words by heart，anyway.Within three minutes，the rest of the class filled in，and it was noisier than a five-year-old’s birthday party.I finished taking a mental picture of “scalawag” just as Ms Hawking walked into the room.
“Now it’s time for the Spelling Bee！” Ms Hawking said brightly.“Is everybody ready？” “No！” the class groaned—everyone except Nathan and me，of course.My class was full of pretty bad spellers.After six times around the circle，there were only two kids left，Nathan and me.I cocked my head toward Nathan，beaming with the knowledge of my impending triumph.Nathan’s next word was “judgment”．“J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T.Judgment.” “That is correct！” Like a zombie.“Hey，” says Nathan.“Are you OK？” He smiled and stuck out his hand to shake mine.“Judgment，” I mumbled weakly.He shrugged，“Eoin Colfer is my favorite author，and the other day the word ‘judgment’ was in one of his books I’m reading.So I guess I just absorbed it.” “Eoin Colfer is my favorite author，too! I thought you hated reading books without numbers，” I laughed.Nathan smiled.OK，so maybe Nathan and I did have a few things in common.
